def polar(a, side="right"):
"""
Compute the polar decomposition.
Returns the factors of the polar decomposition [1]_ `u` and `p` such
that ``a = up`` (if `side` is "right") or ``a = pu`` (if `side` is
"left"), where `p` is positive semidefinite. Depending on the shape
of `a`, either the rows or columns of `u` are orthonormal. When `a`
is a square array, `u` is a square unitary array. When `a` is not
square, the "canonical polar decomposition" [2]_ is computed.
Parameters
----------
a : (m, n) array_like
The array to be factored.
side : {'left', 'right'}, optional
Determines whether a right or left polar decomposition is computed.
If `side` is "right", then ``a = up``. If `side` is "left", then
``a = pu``. The default is "right".
Returns
-------
u : (m, n) ndarray
If `a` is square, then `u` is unitary. If m > n, then the columns
of `a` are orthonormal, and if m < n, then the rows of `u` are
orthonormal.
p : ndarray
`p` is Hermitian positive semidefinite. If `a` is nonsingular, `p`
is positive definite. The shape of `p` is (n, n) or (m, m), depending
on whether `side` is "right" or "left", respectively.
